The endogenous brain peptides MIF-1 and Tyr-MIF-1 have been reported to alter binding at several sites on the GABAA receptor. To determine whether these peptides affect binding at the GABA site, we assessed effects of MIF-1 and Tyr-MIF-1 on [3H]SR 95531 binding in mouse cortical synaptosomal membranes. Neither peptide altered [3H]SR 95531 binding across a wide range of concentrations (10(-12)-10(-6) M). Scatchard analysis indicated no change in either apparent affinity or receptor density at both the high-affinity and low-affinity GABA sites with MIF-1 or Tyr-MIF-1, 10(-9) M. Thus, MIF-1 and Tyr-MIF-1 do not affect binding at the GABA site on the GABAA receptor.
